This topic comes up a lot on the diet board too, so you can do a search. I've gone from 40lbs overweight to 15lbs underweight. I know the struggle. Buying clothes is next to impossible without shopping in the junior section and I really don't want jeans with flowers painted on them! I am trying to incorporate more protein - soy, peanut butter, chicken and shellfish. I know that everything I eat is low fat, but I'm adding a few "risky" foods after SF - ie Ritz crackers - and so far I'm doing alright - although I do not recommend eating anything unless you are sure of it for yourself.
For a comparison to 6'4 Dan - I'm 5'1" and now 116 lbs. I was at my heaviest, just after university, over 172 lbs. I stopped weighing myself because I was depressed about my weight. My GI wants me at 130 so I have some safe room in case of a major flare. I dropped from over 140 last Feb to 116 now. Not good.
I wish you luck!! And search the board - there are a lot of suggestions!
